Challenge
Outdated Systems Hindered Rapid Emergency Response and Coordination
FEMA was facing challenges with outdated communication systems that led to delayed responses during emergencies. The legacy infrastructure was not adequately integrated with modern data analytics tools, making it difficult for teams to quickly analyze real-time data and coordinate a timely response. Additionally, the system lacked the redundancy needed to ensure reliability under peak stress conditions.
